June was a big month for me this year... how 'bout you? There were festive graduations (go HS Murrowites in Brooklyn NY!) and those from Colgate Univ in May lighting up my computer screen to see the livestream.

 Now July is here in full force, with heat that can't be beat, but good beats can be found at the African Festival in Brooklyn NY even on Tuesday July 4th, 2017. Plus with the livestream, you can be part of it from wherever you are...so join in this amazing effort that grew out of a need for better representation in the schools in Brooklyn by the African American Teachers a few

I have been working with about a dozen other parents informally and have one set of gatherings planned for a certain group.
